Each LEA that receives Title I, Part A funding is responsible for disseminating the state, LEA and campus-level report cards to 1) all LEA campuses, 2) to parents of all enrolled students, and 3) to make the information widely available through public means such as posting online, distribution to the media, or distribution through public agencies. Posted here you will is Valley View Elementary's Federal Report Card. The Report Card was discussed and given to parents at the February PTO meeting.

By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
3/5/2014 (2 years ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
A British mother was told that her unborn child was born dead and that she needed to abort the child immediately. Thirty-six-year-old Hazel Wiggins was about to pop the abortion pill, when she felt that something was not right - and she listened to her heart. She asked for a second scan and found that her unborn baby was in fact, alive. She's now the proud mother of a baby girl.
Little Amelia does have attendant health problems: She was born with her liver and bowel on the outside of her body, alongside respiratory problems -- but her health is improving every day.
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The community care worker has since received an apology from the hospital. Wiggins just knew that something was just not right when given the original diagnosis.
"The midwife looked at my scan for 30 seconds and then said 'I'm sorry, there is no heartbeat' and turned the machine off. I said 'Are you sure? You didn't look at my stomach for very long,' and she said, 'Yes, I'm 100 percent sure.'
Light up the darkness -- by going here!
"I went home and just got into bed and mourned the death of the baby. I cried the whole day and night."
Wiggins returned to the hospital to start the first of a series of abortion pills, but something deep down told her that her baby was not dead.
"They kept saying that I needed to take the tablets and I said that I didn't want to. I told them I wanted another scan. It went on for about 20 minutes."
Digging in her heels, Wiggins waited until the nurses referred her for a second scan.
"I was telling the lady who was scanning me about what had happened when she stopped and looked at me, shocked," said Wiggins, from Prudhoe, Northumberland.
"She said, 'I have a baby here who is jumping all over the place, the baby is alive.'"
Already the mother of a 10-year-old son, Wiggins gave birth to her daughter Amelia on January 13, at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary.
Northumbria NHS Healthcare Foundation Trust has apologized and accepted liability for causing distress to Wiggins last August at Hexham General Hospital and the matter was settled out of court.
Some good has come from this. Her case has led to a change in NHS policy on pre-natal scans. All expectant mothers who now have a scan which shows their baby has died will now be automatically offered a second scan.
"We apologize wholeheartedly for unnecessary distress," Dr. Eliot Sykes, clinical director of emergency surgery and elective care, said. "We have fully investigated and made some important changes to ensure two scans are carried out whenever there are concerns about viability of the fetus.
"We appreciate this must have been a very worrying time and would like to reassure them that we have taken all appropriate steps to prevent this happening in future."

text: After much council and community deliberation, including a public thread, poll, and a Policy Review topic, the OU Council has come to the decision that Gengarite will be quickbanned from OU. Remember, a quickban is considered an extension of the initial banlist, meaning we are implying that Gengarite deserved to be on the initial banlist and is considered that overwhelmingly strong. Mega Gengar is not a Pokemon that will easily sweep teams, in spite of its 170 Base Special Attack and 130 Base Speed (enough to outspeed almost every unboosted Pokemon), and its offensive prowess is not the sole reason for its quickbanning. It is a Pokemon that allows teams to, with near 100% probability, remove specific counters or threats and open the way for an easy victory. This capability is especially pronounced against defensive teams, and to some extent any kind of team relying on slow Pokemons, to the point that the Council believes that Mega Gengar is stifling the development of defensive teams overall. Note, we don't necessarily mean just stall teams (though these are affected significantly), but defensive teams in general. This overall detriment to defensive teams (remember, not just stall) is considered a pronounced negative for the metagame's development (hence why we're not waiting on PokeBank to ban it). Shadow Tag allows Mega Gengar to trap and kill whatever Pokemon you want it to eliminate, generally the ones that give your team trouble or the ones that stop your sweeper. Defensively, Mega Gengar can easily switch in with its useful resistances and immunities to common types, and offensively, its high Speed and Special Attack stats and access to STAB Shadow Ball with Focus Blast as coverage allows it at least neutrally damage the entire metagame. In addition to its offensive and defensive prowess, Gengar has very useful support moves, such as Will-O-Wisp, Taunt, Destiny Bond, Hypnosis, and when PokeBank is legal, Perish Song. These moves give Gengar additional utility against both offensive (Will-O-Wisp and Destiny Bond) and defensive (Perish Song) teams, and Shadow Tag is the tool that allows Gengar to remove nearly all defensive threats or counters or checks with what the Council has determined is too high a probability, note that, while some pokemon can handle Mega-Gengar in a one-vs-one scenario, it has no true counters due to the nature of Shadow Tag (aka: switching in your counter), and that fact alone is the main reason as to why we thought it deserved to be banned. While it's true that Shadow Tag will not be in effect the turn Gengar mega-evolves, which allows the other player to send in a counter or a Pursuiter, Mega Gengar can still Substitute in the same turn it mega-evolves, put opponents to sleep with Hypnosis, or Destiny Bond, and then switch out without the risk of being Pursuited (or in Destiny Bond's case, at least remove the Pursuiter.) Mega Gengar also has a huge movepool. Depending on what its team needs, it can be a hard hitter to destroy something that could give the team trouble (for example, it can kill fairies with Sludge Bomb, kill Latios or Latias with Shadow Ball, and kill bulky waters with Thunderbolt, etc), burn physical attackers with Will-o-Wisp (destroying a lot of Pursuiters as well), put to sleep any opponent it wants, use a Perish trap combination, Destiny Bond sweepers, Toxic walls, or recover HP with pain split. While we do recognize that Mega Gengar obviously cannot do all of this in the same set, we are mentioning all of what Mega Gengar can do offensively, defensively, and supportively to emphasize that those tools, along with Shadow Tag, create a Pokemon with the potential to be far too effective of a support Pokemon. Though we aren't directly using the 4th generation suspect characteristics anymore, they still provide a reliable framework to assess the situation. Consider the Support Characteristic: Mega Gengar is the perfect example of this. It is not broken solely because of its offensive stats. It is broken because the combination of Shadow Tag, its great defensive typing, its great offensive stats, and its huge movepool allows you to, with almost absolute certainty, remove one or multiple checks to your team with Mega Gengar. We feel that this near 100% probability against all Pokemon (except Ghost-types) is uncompetitive, as Pokemon battles are (and for the most part, should be) a 2-way street in terms of decisions; this Pokemon makes the battle a 1-way street against nearly all Pokemon.

In Tajikistan, the Aga Khan's philanthropy and investment has raised hospitals, hotels, colleges, crops – and in some quarters, suspicion. This is the fifth story in a series of articles on philanthropy in TOL's coverage area.
The hope remains in Tajikistan that, like the bridges he and his organization have built between their country and Afghanistan, between philanthropy and profit, the Aga Khan can build a bridge that links different Muslim communities – and benefits both sides.

Tajikistan starts flights to Kabul, plans more bridges to Afghanistan - 2002-03-28Posted February 25th, 2010 by heritage
Tajikistan's national airline on Thursday began passenger service to Afghanistan and officials announced plans to build five bridges connecting the countries.
Both moves apparently reflect increased confidence in Afghanistan's stability following the fall of the Taliban and growing recognition of Tajikistan's importance as a conduit for aid and materiel badly needed by Afghanistan.
The Tajikistan Airlines decision to open service between Dushanbe and Kabul, the Afghan capital, was largely in response to demand by businessmen, airline officials said. The flights are expected to go once a week.

Thus at the great temple of Gohind Deva the central dome of the nave (or porch as Mr, Fergnsson very inappropriately calls it) is perfect; but it is impossible to determine from thence with any certainly what would hare been the outline and proportions of the tower that the architect proposed to raise over it I have no question in my own &ind -that the origin of the sikhara is to "be found in the Buddhist stupa. Nor do Ldetect any violent break in the development. The lower story of the modern temple which, though most commonly square^ is occasionally, as in the Madan Mohan and Eadh4 Ballabh examples, an octagon^ and therefore a near approach to a- circle^ is repre- sented by the masonry plinth of the relic-mound; the high curvilinear roof by lie swelling contour of the earthen Mil, and the pinnacle with its peculiar base by the BiiddMsi rails and umbrella on the top of a Dagoba. From the original stuga to the temple of Parsvanath at Khajurao of the llth century, the towers of Madan Mohan and Jngai Klishor at Brinda-ban of the 16th, and the tempi� of Vishveshvar at Banaras, the gradation seems to be easy and continuous. From a note at the foot of page 32 of his 'Cave Temples* it appears that Mr. Fergnsson has been rather nettled by my exposure of his frequent inaccu- racies and�having no excuse to offer�attempts to divert attention from them by ridiculing tie view I have here advanced as to the origin of the sikkara, From the nature of the case it is simply a theory,�and whether it be right or wrong�fn its integrity it must be incap- able of positive proof. He is therefore not bound to accept it; but it certainly is rash of him to maintain, as a counter-theory, that the Brindaban sikharas are the result of an attempt on the part of Hindu architects to assimilate- with their own traditional forms the novel beauty of the Muhammadan dome. !The suggestion is absurd and admits of the easiest refutation, nor do I for a moment sup- pose that Mr. Fergusson ever seriously enter- tained it : it is simply employed as a polemical diversion. The type of an Orissan temple in the 6th and 7th centuries AJX, while Bud- dhism was still a power in the land and long before the Muhammadans had ever entered it, is illustrated by Dr. Eajendra Lai Mitra in his fiIndo-Aryans?' by a wood-cut which is copied in the margin.

These authors have great insight into the scriptures and have done a wonderful job putting it into bite-size and understandable chunks for anyone to understand. I wish someone had given this to me when I was younger, but thank God a resource like this is available so I can help my sons and their future wives to guide them through this crooked and perverse generation.

I work for a small company... Under 50 employees!! The day I raised the possibility of going out on disability, my employer informed me that I must go on COBRA at my own expense. This perplexes me--I'm still technically still 'employed' even if I'm out on disability... doesn't COBRA kick in when you're 'Unemployed'?
I understand when you work for a small company, any leave may trigger COBRA (as we're NOT protected by FMLA). However, when our company writes proposals to bid on projects, we often disclose 50+ employees... I don't think they can have it both ways can they? I know this because I write the proposals...
Also, do I have any protection on the state level?
Thank you in advance for any advice!!
1. injury was NOT work related. 2. I've been employed by this small private company for 13 consecutive years. 3. I typically do not use up all of my sick days in any given year. 4. my job title = 'director'
Personal Injury Lawyer
I'm sorry you are in this position. I would suggest that you retain a lawyer immeidately to handle your personal injury case. Don't try to do this by yourself. Ask that lawyer to help you coordinate your benefits - including health, disability, and other insurance.
It sounds like you could really use the help and peace of mind. Good luck.
Social Security Lawyers
There are quite a few things going on here. I do think you need to consult an attorney as soon as possible to sort through these issues.
That being said, you may have a personal injury claim, a workers' compensation claim (if you were on the job when you were in the accident), a short and/or long term disability claim depending if you have those coverages, and possibly a Social Security disability claim depending on the severity of your injuries and how long your doctors anticipate you will be out of work.
If your health insurance coverage ends with your employer you may be eligible for COBRA. I don't have enough details to answer your questions regarding COBRA and at what point you might be eligible. Employer's have different policies about when your health insurance coverage ends should you go out on disability - some employers terminate a person's position and their health insurance almost immediately while other employers will hold that person's position and keep them eligible for continued health insurance benefits. Your HR department should hopefully be able to provide further information on those points.
Employee Benefits Lawyer
COBRA "kicks in" when you have a qualifying event that results in a loss of coverage. While termination of employment is a qualifying event, a reduction in hours that results in your loss of eligibility under the employer sponsored health plan would also be a COBRA qualifying event. Because there is no FMLA leave (which requires an employer to provide coverage during any FMLA leave period), they are not required to provide employer-paid coverage. I am not sure if there is any state protection in New Jersey, but generally state continuation laws require you to pay the full premium for coverage.
The counting of employees for purposes of FMLA coverage is governed by rules that may be different than the rules regarding counting employees for purposes of project bidding. If you think the company may be subject to the FMLA entitling you to more protection, you should ask your employer for evidence that the FMLA does not apply to the Company.

This week is the fourth Wallace International Piano Festival held at the School of Music. Founded in 2013 the festival is a combination of a competition (alternating years for pre-tertiary and tertiary pianists- this year it's the junior's turn), masterclasses and recitals by international artists. Sponsored, by the Wallace Arts Trust, Lewis Eady Charitable Trust, the University of Auckland (who has acted as host venue since 2014) and Radio New Zealand Concert, this is an exciting four days for pianists, both participants and audience. Many of the events are open to the public (you can book tickets here) and this year's recitals and masterclasses feature local piano greats Michael Houstoun and Read Gainsford, and last year's National Piano competition (that's the tertiary competition) winner Delvan Lin.
We are celebrating the Wallace International Piano Festival with a display centring on some of our piano-related material. As you might imagine with piano being one of the staple instruments that most people learn at some point (or at least pick things up), our collection of piano material is massive. From biographies on particular performers, books on pianos and sheet music to recordings of particular works and DVDs of masterclasses and concerts our collection covers nearly every aspect of piano playing and teaching. Most of our collection focuses on classical piano, but we also have quite a bit of material on jazz and pop pianists- including a number of great DVDs of concerts, which are always fun to watch.
In our display we have chosen a selection of biographies and books about playing the piano, and a range of audio recordings of various performance and famous piano works. The sheet music we included has a little black and white theme going on (playing on the black and white of the piano keys). We have also included some of our piano-related DVDs, which include classical masterclasses and concerts by artists such as Martha Argerich and Claude Arrau, and concerts by jazz and pop greats such as Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone. This is just a small sample of our collection so if you're interested in piano jump on the catalogue to see what we have, or come down and talk to us.

One of the most interesting finds in our collection was the order of ceremony for the coronation of King George VI and Queen consort Elizabeth in May 1937 (centre top). The order of ceremony in this case is the transcript and outline of the ceremony and the music that was played at each point during the investiture. In total there were nineteen pieces comprising of hymns and anthems- mostly well-known traditional works, but also modern works. The most modern work was Ralph Vaughan Williams's Te Deum Laudamus composed in 1928. This was the last work to be played before the King and Queen recessed out of Westminster Abbey.
Another interesting find was a programme from a Christmas concert held at the Auckland Town Hall in honour of Queen Elizabeth's (II) first tour of New Zealand in 1953 (bottom left). Featuring the National Orchestra (before it was called the NZSO) conducted by Warwick Braithwaite and the Festival Choir conducted by the then Head of Music Professor Horace Hollinrake the concert provided a usual mix of carols, J.S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio, and other Christmas selections. The concert was performed twice: once on Christmas night 1953, which included the Queen's Christmas broadcast immediately after the interval, and once on the December 27 1953.
Of the fictional queens represented in the display, perhaps the most relevant item for this month is a costume design (centre bottom shelf) for the Queen of the Night from Mozart's The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte). This book is Fashion Designers at the Opera, which profiles prominent fashion designers who have also designed costumes. This particular production, and costume, was designed by Zandra Rhodes for San Diego Opera in 2001. The Queen of the Night is the instigator of the plot for The Magic Flute persuading the main protagonist Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter Pamina from the clutches of high priest Sarastro. No matter what direction the production takes the Queen of the Night always cuts an impressive figure with elaborate costumes to match her elaborate scheming (and everyone knows that villains get the best clothes). New Zealand Opera is staging their own production of The Magic Flute this month at the Aotea Centre, which looks to be a fantastic production, and is going to be sung in English rather than its original German.

Queens are a popular device in opera, musicals, ballets and other works as a main character, protagonist or symbol. Much music has been written in honour of queens, or has been associated with queens both real and fictional. In honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday, this month's display focuses on Queens. Real, fictional, or even the rock group our display includes just a few examples of Queen's in our collection.

My name is Maalona Mafaufau from Faleatiu and Safune. My parents migrated to New Zealand looking for a better life for themselves and most importantly to support parents and families in Samoa. My dad left school in Samoa at Year 9 and the jobs he worked in when he arrived in New Zealand were labouring jobs. It was hard for my family because Dad's jobs did not pay much. Dad decided to go back to school. He worked as a cleaner at night and went to Polytech in the day. When he finished he was employed in the office of National Mutual in Wellington.
When dad died it became very hard for mum to manage the benefit to support our family. She went back to study at Uni for her teaching qualification and she is now working as a teacher in Mangere. It was a struggle but Mum believed a qualification was the only way for her to get a better job to support her family.

Every week our wonderful staff at the Sylvia Ashton-Warner Library recommend a book which we post about on our Facebook page. As we're lucky enough to hold a variety of resources here in Epsom, these recommendations are an assortment of new books, old favourites and fantastic teaching resources. Check out our latest recommendations:
Whose beak is this? by Gillian Candler
Can you recognise each bird by its beak? In this interactive and fun picture book kids and adults are able to learn about New Zealand birds. All your favourites are featured with their Māori and English names, including the kiwi, tūi, oystercatcher and pūkeko. The illustrations are beautiful and the theme of the book is simple - teaching readers about the eating habits of our native birds. Highly recommend!
Don't think about purple elephants by Susan Whelan and Gwynneth Jones
A sweet, funny and comforting picture book about learning to stop worrying thoughts. A little girl's worries become replaced by fun imaginative thoughts of purple elephants. Great for reading to children aged three upwards, and will go down well in junior classrooms. Teachers' notes are available on the book's website.
Exploring nature's pattern magic by Dee Pigneguy
Gloriously illustrated, fascinating, mathematical thinking!!
The north star by Peter H. Reynolds
The little boy sets off for a journey to find his own star. He must go through obstacles and make choices of his own. I enjoyed reading this book because it encourages readers to pursue our own dreams no matter which path we take.

It's New Zealand Music Month and this month's library display celebrates our musical heritage in all its forms. We have books, scores, and CDs in the display representing the wide range of musical genres that are created and produced in New Zealand. Now normally I'd do some descriptions of our material but instead we decided to create a playlist of some of the New Zealand music from our collections.

Following Anzac Day, we have acquired some brand new Anzac themed resources for our collection here at Epsom.
ANZAC Heroes by Maria Gill and Marco Ivancic
With striking illustrations and informative biographies, ANZAC Heroes follows the stories of 30 notable figures from the two world wars. With interesting fact boxes, old photographs and detailed timelines, this resource is perfect for young readers.
Evie's War by Anna Mackenzie
Told through the pages of a diary, this book follows Evie during her time volunteering as a nurse in the First World War. While it discusses the work the nurses do, this book also looks at the war through the eyes of a civilian. There is hope and optimism that the war will not last longer than a year, and also tragedy as Evie suffers a personal loss. A great read!
Te Popi Whero ( The Red Poppy) by David Hill
Follows the story of a soldier who is wounded charging through No Man's Land during the First World War. He comes across a wounded German soldier and the two men try to help each other. With the help of a messenger dog, the two soldiers are given a fighting chance at survival. Available in English and Māori this is a wonderful book with beautiful illustrations.
Armistice Day by Philippa Werry
A comprehensive introduction to the events at the end of the First World War and what followed in the aftermath. Focusing on local and international stories, Werry describes how the war ended, the impact of the influenza epidemic and what happened when the troops returned home. With interviews, photographs and detailed information, Armistice Day is a wonderful, informative resource.
A Winter's Day in 1939 by Melinda Szymanik
Told through the eyes of 12 year old Adam, A Winter's Day in 1939 follows the story of a Polish family during World War II who are taken from their home and sent to a Russian labour camp. Adam's voice is descriptive and insightful as he recounts his family's battle against starvation, disease and freezing temperatures - a great read for all ages.
The Bantam and the Soldier by Jennifer Beck and Robyn Belton
A heart-warming story about a soldier who rescues a bantam and brings her to the trenches with him and his men. The bantam becomes a lucky symbol for the soldiers and she stays with them until the end of the war.

The little magazines discussed in part 1: Antic, And, Morepork, Splash, Freed and Parallax were positioned in relation to literary magazines, Landfall and Islands. This second suite draws together publications from artist-run-spaces and galleries produced during the 1990s and 2000s: Log Illustrated, Midwest, A Ramp Magazine, Matters and Soap, which sit counter to the prominent local art publications of the time.

Today the world lost another music icon. Prince passed away suddenly at his home in Minneapolis aged 57. Born Prince Rogers Nelson (yes, Prince actually was his real first name) in 1958 he began writing music at an early age and began performing professionally in his teens. His debut album 'For You' was released in 1978.his debut album was an absolute musical feat with him producing, composing, arranging, and playing all 27 instruments. His second album titled 'Prince' went platinum and reached 22 on the Billboard top 200. From there he went from strength to strength; in 1984 he released what is arguably his best known and most influential album 'Purple Rain', which spent 24 consecutive weeks at number 1 on the Billboard charts and gained (even more) fame through the sound track of the film of the same name and featured Prince as the lead character 'The Kid'.
Throughout his career Prince has constantly amazed fans and the music community with his artistry and innovations, and consistently stirred controversy for his overtly sexual stage persona. Interestingly though, for such an iconic composer and performer who has inspired artists across pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, and R&B you would expect that there would be a lot of material about him. However, in thinking about what to do for this blog post I discovered that there really isn't much at all. The Music and Dance Library holds two books (and a handful of his albums), and in looking at what other books are out there very little has been written about him. From a quick look around the web it would seem that there are very few books on Prince or his work (except 'Purple Rain'), and very, very few of these books are written from a scholarly point of view. This seems quite strange with someone who has been compared to other greats such as the recently deceased David Bowie who has been written about in every sense- from scholarly to popular journalism for many years. Perhaps it is because Prince was an ever-changing performance artist whose changes frequently happened on-stage, which made it more challenging for researchers to capture and analyse. In any case we can hope that in the next few years popular music scholars and researchers will take on the challenge and there will be some in depth considerations of his career and the way he made music.

The Marvels by Brian Selznick
Brian Selznick has done it again - he's written a book that reads like a movie. In the first half of the book (set in 1766) the story is told in pictures - beautiful, evocative black and white drawings. In the second half of the book ( set in 1990) Selznick turns to text to create a different narrative while at the same time ultimately linking the two stories. And it's a great story which is based around a real-life museum in Spitalfields England. Dennis Severs created the museum at 18 Folgate St on the end of London's East End. The museum is a recreation of a fictional family home from the 19th century, but it is so much more than that. But back to Selznick's story - in part one it begins with a boy called Billy Marvel, who after surviving a shipwreck, begins the Marvel family dynasty - the family are involved with the theatre for generations until the expulsion of young Leontes. In part two - Joseph Jervis runs away from school to live with his uncle Albert Nightingale. Albert lives in a beautiful, mysterious house full of ghostly presences. The deciphering of how these two separate stories connect is the imaginative powerhouse of the book - it's magic!

Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
Jumping between present day life at a rural Australian boarding school and flashbacks to the past presented as an unfinished manuscript, Jellicoe Road can initially be a dizzying, disjointed read - but don't be discouraged! Tackling issues such as abandonment, abuse, drug use, suicide, and the idea of family and belonging, this young adult novel is a captivating read from start to finish. Marchetta weaves a believable plot with beautiful language and a frank honesty that makes the characters both realistic and relatable. There is also a teaching resource that could be used in classroom discussions (careful, spoilers ahead): https://melinamarchetta.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/jellicoe-road-reading-guide.pdf
Fox in Socks by Dr. Seuss
Great book for adults and children who like to challenge themselves with a set of tongue twisters!
The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
By now I'm sure 99% of people have read, seen or know the general idea behind the Hunger Games franchise. But just in case you haven't here's why it's an unforgettable series and an entertaining read for all ages. Rebellion, corrupt governments and a wonderful female lead whose focus is primarily the survival of herself and those she loves; this book presents a world where children are expendable and their deaths are the entertainment of the year. Throughout this series the lead character Katniss is forced to fight others to the death in the arena – twice, becomes the face of the rebellion against the Capitol, and executes the president. Alongside the action scenes and the political intrigue we get to know characters who are suffering from depression and PTSD, who face survivor's guilt, who recover from brainwashing and torture. The fighting is messy, some of your favourite characters do not make it to the end of the series, and the fallout from the rebellion is not mopped up instantaneously. But what is most interesting is the relationships between characters, how trust is built up and broken, how secrets are traded and how love drives even the most ordinary person to do amazing things.

Part 1: Art and Literary Magazines 1969-1985
During the 1970s and 80s a suite of little magazines (Wild, 2008) emerged on the New Zealand literary scene: Freed (5 volumes produced from 1969-1971); Splash (4 volumes produced from 1984-1986); And (4 volumes produced from 1983-1985); Morepork (3 Volumes produced from 1979-1981); and Parallax: a journal of postmodern literature and art (3 volumes produced from 1982-1983).
These publications stood apart from their more established counterparts such as Landfall, in both content and physical form. They operated in a similar manner to many artist-run-spaces often with restricted budgets, limited operational time frames, and rigorous agendas. Mark Williams writes about Freed, "It didn't set about institutionalizing itself. It was short-lived but left behind a formidable legacy, and this has not been unusual in the history of New Zealand literary journals: that change has been initiated by little magazines, cheaply produced and lasting a few numbers only." (Williams, 1987)
Similarly, And, edited by Leigh Davis and Alex Calder, was established with the intention of producing just four issues. "Its very name stressed that it intended to put itself within historical change, not become an institution." (Williams) After all "it wasn't hip to aim for longevity any longer" (Williams). And's stapled, photocopied pages drew together an array of typefaces and formats, counter to the high production costs of Landfall etc. In the first issue, Davis outlines some of the considerations of And, "The real scale of a little magazine can get forgotten or out of proportion. We understand a little magazine to have a little audience, and little production costs." (Davis, 1983)
A sense of continuity was created through the collective publication of these little magazines. The editorial in the first issue of Antic discusses their intentions in starting the publication "aware that And was shortly due to publish its last issue" (Antic, 1986). In the first issue of And the editorial discussed the publications position in relation to Parallax, founded by Alan Loney, which in turn, dedicated its first issue to Graham Lindsay, editor of Morepork.
In addition to the format, the content of these publications also broke from what was currently being published in New Zealand at the time. The first issue of Parallax included pieces entitled 'An Essay About Experimental Films That Ended Up As An Essay About New Zealand' by Roger Horrocks and Wystan Curnow's 'Post-Modernism in Poetry and the Visual Arts'. Contributions across the publications included original poetry and prose as well as critical essays on art and literature, conversations, reviews and pageworks. Art related articles featured in all listed publications have been indexed and are searchable on INZART: Index to New Zealand Art. A selection of little magazines is currently on display in the Fine Arts Library.

The third week of this month is New Zealand Dance Week. Between April 23 and 30 thousands of passionate dancers of all ages (both professional and amateur) will be celebrating one of their (and mine) favourite pastimes. DANZ (Dance Aotearoa New Zealand)- the main support organisation for dance in New Zealand- estimates that 630,000 New Zealanders (of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities) participate in dance activities. This is more than rugby and netball combined, although there will be a significant number of rugby and netball players who also dance.
During NZ Dance Week various studios and teachers will be offering free or reduced rate classes, dance groups will be performing and getting out into the community and encouraging people to give dance a go. The opening event is going to be held in Auckland and the week will culminate in a premiere performance of the digital work 'For the Love of Dance, Aotearoa' in Wellington on April 29, which is International Dance Day, with a closing event also in Wellington the following day. More information about the events will be available on DANZ's Facebook page and through their email updates (more information here)

To celebrate New Zealand Dance Week in the library our display this month centres on some of our fabulous dance resources. We have books and DVDs on almost every style of dance, from ballet to hip-hop, ballroom to Bollywood, Pacific Island styles to Greek folk dances. Many of our DVDs are performances of works, including some by local choreographers and dancers including University of Auckland Associate Professor Carol Brown, and graduate (and occasional dance studies lecturer) Michael Parmenter. We also have DVDs that are master classes or 'how to' series in a variety of styles. While the DVDs cannot be taken out of the library (though if you find yourself with some spare time come on down) we also have digital resources such as Dance in Video that may be accessed from anywhere through the University Libraries database page.
